Wow you really know nothing. NINTENDO IS THE LITERAL REASON WHY POKEMON IS EXISTS AND IS VERY SUCCESSFUL!

Many people saw PBB as the free Pokémon game and there was no point to getting a core game. Perhaps some people might have moved to core games after PBB but most people saw it as the free alternative making official games pointless.

The Pokémon company shut PBB down because it TOOK more players away than actually gaining. You calling Nintendo the selfish ones when you never took a good look at yourself. People like you are the selfish ones. Not to mention PBB devs too. They made literally millions of dollars off this game. It’s not even a stretch. Not a single cent went to nintendo.

Nintendo is one of the few innovative companies that took risks which led to their success. They never even understood Pokémon’s original concept. But they let it slide and you know why? Because it was a risk they were willing to take and now look at what it has become.
